♦♦Sponsors 2013/14♦♦
We are currently in negotiations with sponsors for 2013/14... watch this space for details.
♦♦Competitions♦♦
We attend all the student snowsport competitions throughout the year, travelling to Edinburgh for the BUDS (British Universities Dry Slope) championships for an epic weekend in November. BUiSC (indoor) championships follow in January/February, and BUSC (2000 students in one resort!) finishes the season at Easter. Throughout the year we compete at Kings dryslope races and we usually train every week. All abilities are welcome (we had seven teams last year) and all the events are great fun for competitors and supporters alike. Come along to a taster session early in the year to see what it's all about!
Sno has been extremely successful in recent years; the race team has won every award possible, and the freestyle team is catching up fast! Out dedicated competitions captains are already working hard in preparation for the new season.
We even have race and freestyle kit for you to borrow, so there's no excuse for not giving it a go!
♦♦Social♦♦
Our social scene is second to none in the university, Sno always has a great mix of people who are always welcoming and just up for a good time! Our social secs always make sure we're the biggest and loudest club, and our fancy dress themes are always the envy of the student snowsport bubble!
♦♦Holidays♦♦
The Winter Trip is renowned throughout Loughborough as basically the best week of your life! This year's location is still under wraps, but you can rest assured it'll be quality accommodation, in an awesome resort with the best Aprés you'll ever get.. think Fresher's week..on ice...with much better venues than the union!
At Easter we travel to the Alps again for BUSC. 2000 students, one resort... it's basically a festival in the mountains....open air stages, massive acts, a Ball, all with the added bonus of sunny easter weather to hit the apres hard after the nice snow's turned to slush!
♦♦Recreational Trips♦♦
We run regular trips to snodomes on wednesdaya afternoons. You get discounted slopetime and lessons if you want them. These sessions are loads of fun to sharpen up your skills and spend some time with some like-minded people. We usually have a burger and a few beers afterwards, then head on back to Hey Ewe!
♦♦Stash♦♦
Our stash is always the envy of the whole campus. Rob's already been hard at work on your merchandise for next year, and we've got some exciting stuff in the pipeline! We've listened to your comments and we're trying to get more bang for your buck next year.
